Category:Birds of the Americas

Note: Put here categories of birds occurring in more than one of the four major American regions.

For this purpose, the Central American region extends into northern Colombia/Venezuela (to the Andes), South America extends to the Isthmus of Panama and includes Trinidad and Tobago (which otherwise belongs to the Caribbean region), and the Caribbean includes coastal areas of Venezuela, the Yucatan Peninsula and the Florida Keys. This is to avoid listing single-region endemics here which merely range into these border regions.

Note: to keep down the size of this category, you can occasionally check if entire genera or families might be listed here, instead of the species.

This is a main category requiring frequent diffusion and maybe maintenance. As many pictures and media files as possible should be moved into appropriate subcategories.
